What an terrific place - a great find. Totally authentic New Orleans experience.
We LOVED being so close to everything. You're basically right off the street that separates the French Quarter from Frenchmen Street --- you can actually hear the music from the courtyard at night --- But once you're inside the gates, it's nice and quiet.
You can walk everywhere.
There's a large brick courtyard here, a little fountain, an outdoor dining table, and a grill. Great place to hang out in the evenings.
You can tell the house has history. It's connected to the mansion next door, but it's its own separate little house and property. Unique layout, it has the kitchen and living room on the bottom floor and the main bedrooms are upstairs, up a wooden and iron spiral staircase. Pretty cool! They each have a balcony and their own bathrooms, too, plus a little sitting area with natural light coming in off the garden.
The kitchen has everything you need. Stove, pots/pans, big fridge for leftovers and groceries. Coffee makers, too.
We are for sure coming back here with more friends sometime soon -- maybe for one of the big festivals.
I feel like I shouldn't be giving away our little secret, but here goes -- Highly Recommend 10/10.
